General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Brexit is the gift that keeps on giving.

The government can only pretend external factors are entirely to blame for so long. As more and more evidence like this continues to pile up, it will become politically untenable. Eventually it'll just be the maddest of the mad still in the Brexit camp and the less devoted Brexiteers will want to disassociate.

I know we'll not regain the special privileges we had and will need to eventually move toward the Euro but good lord we should be rejoining the EU posthaste.

Labour nor the Tories are ever going to make brexit viable. At this point the decision to stay out of the EU is purely ideological and has zero benefits.

I would agree and expand that last sentence to rather read "at any point"

Ever since after world war 2 Uk inflation has been high compared to other nations in Europe and the US. Get your cash out of the UK. Invest in the S&P500
